Russian ICBM’s aren’t the only thing the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) will be tracking this Christmas, and Google (which is everywhere, and knows everything) is giving them a hand. The annual NORAD Tracks Santa page is back, and this year it comes with some extra Google goodies.
For good boys there’s a YouTube Channel, that doesn’t care if you’re naughty or nice…as long as the content isn’t subject to a copyright claim.
For good girls there a Google Earth mashup, with cool 3D imagery that blows Barbie Online away.
For users of Seemic and other such toys, there’s santa cams as well; How many responses it will get, only time will tell… but I bet it’s not as many as Loren.

Mmmm.
I can't see the embedded video in the post, or even in the "Topic Review" section at the bottom of the "post reply" page.
All I see is this:

[YOU TUBE]<object width="425" height="373"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/BfvGU4W0bvM&rel=1&border=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/BfvGU4W0bvM&rel=1&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="373"></embed></object>[/YOU TUBE]

(Without spaces in the bbcode - for some reason vbulletin parses bbcode within "code" tags. )

However, when I then preview that reply, I can then see the original post with the embedded video working properly at the bottom under "Topic Review". In fact, when I previewed the post, I saw the video embedded inside the "code" box (hence why I added spaces to [YOUTUBE]).

There seems to be some inconsistencies between the "Preview" parsing and what actually happens when a post is made.
